Mexikid by Pedro Martín
When a Mexikid (a kid born in the US to Mexican parents) goes on a family trip to Mexico in the 1970s to bring his abuelito back home to Watsonville, California, hilarity ensues. This fun but sensitive journey for a very large, close-knit family is full of border crossings, fireworks, chilaquiles, primos, mariachis, and stories of the Mexican Revolution. Pedro Martin’s graphic memoir is about family history, identity, and “finding your grito.”—Noreen
